Stage 4

Geography: Water in the World

The Hawkesbury Nepean River has been a vital part of our landscape for many thousands of years. It played a key role in the lives of Indigenous Darug People living in the area, the early European Settlers, and is important to many thousands of people today. This Geographical Inquiry will focus on the environmental and human processes that influence the availability and distribution of water, with a particular focus on the Hawkesbury River at Sackville North. The program includes loads of fieldwork and mapping skills as well as pre- and post-excursion lessons and an assessment task.
